Fanous in Berlin

The food is amazing and the place is lovely. The staff are so friendly and take good care of you. The only point that might need a bit of improvement is the fact that you need to wait for a quite long time till the waiters come to take your orders.

Delicious food, amazing place. Only one thing - absolutely every single time we have to wait for ages for waiter to come. Maybe they'd need one more person during the peek hours. Still - worth to go.

Very tasty, very good service! Loved being here

The best Persian cuisine in town. In any case, reserve your space in advance.

We were well received by the friendly lady. Atmosphere is very good and busy. Nicely decorated, authentic Persian restaurant. Koobide was just a bit too salty. Jooje had little taste. And barg had no taste at all, but very tender meat. Ghorme sabzi was delicious. Definitely recommended

The portion size was very small, forcing one to order an additional portion. Also, the quality of the Adas Polo was not good as the rice and lentils were cooked separately. Even the amount of lentils in it was very small.

Das Essen ist nicht schlecht, aber das Verhalten des Personals ist total respektlos. Ohne Reservierung bekommt man auch keinen Tisch, obwohl die Tische frei sind. Average food, service and very rude staff behavior You are not allowed to sit without a reservation, even though there was an empty table next to ours Do not allow the customer This way of giving a class to the customer is very ugly!

Today, I went to this restaurant with my wife and son. When we entered, none of the staff who were there even looked at us, and when I greeted one of them, a man with a shaved head, he looked at me and walked past me without answering. A lady from the kitchen told us to wait until we come. We waited for about a quarter of an hour by the door, but no one even paid attention to us. I asked the gentleman again, "Excuse me, where can we sit?" He told us in a rude tone, "I have an order" and left. From there, we went to another restaurant because I think politeness and respect are more important than a few plates of food. Even if you don't have a place to sit and your table is reserved, you can very easily and friendly tell the customer, unfortunately, we don't have a place. I don't think it's too much to expect! Even my 8-year-old son said how rude this gentleman was. Friends who value respect, I advise you not to waste your time with this restaurant

The best Persian food in all of Berlin. Always friendly, top quality.

That was my first time being there, Which coukd say it was decent experience. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the welcoming staff. My plate has a good design and good quality. It was tasty and delicious.

Food was really low today! Kubideh kebab smells not good & rice was too dry! Not a good experience at all

I've eaten here a few times and been satisfied. But unfortunately the quality of the food has become worse. The grilled chicken had no saffron at all. I don't think I'll give this restaurant another chance.

It was quite disappointing this time. The kubideh didn't taste good at all and was half burnt. I also happened to see the waiter in the kitchen pouring soup from the large pot ON THE FLOOR into the small bowl.

Service could be faster. But everyone's nice and cares to explain the dishes.

Great hospitality with tips. Delicious food, including dessert.

Unfortunately no longer recommended! We always went to this restaurant when we visited Berlin. But unfortunately the Kubideh no longer tastes the same as it used to and the quality has significantly deteriorated. The rice was undercooked and extremely dry. There was also a strong smell of meat in the air, which made the stay unpleasant. The treatment of customers was also bad. Very disappointing – a real shame!

Very good food, friendly service and nice atmosphere. Be sure to make a table reservation otherwise you won't have a chance of getting a free table

This was for the 2nd time that I tried the amazing dishes by Fanoos restaurant. And it did not disappoint me. It was as tasty as two-three y ago. The staffs were also so nice and professional. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try an authentic and delicious Persian dish.

Excellent food, service, atmosphere and beautiful traditional interior. Highly recommended.

Every time I invite my friends to eat at this restaurant with a clear conscience, because it not only offers a very pleasant atmosphere, but also serves us a plate full of art. This way I can happily introduce my German friends to Iranian cuisine and culture. Today we were surprised with a delicious Napoleon cake and I have to congratulate the chef of this restaurant for so much creativity and art!

I hate the behavior of this rude person name ( Reza.) Rude, ugly, clever and arrogant.. I urge you not to go there because you will see nothing but misery there.

The grilled meat is very tasty The starters are also very good and all for moderate prices

Vary cozy atmosphere. Food is very delicious. Friendly staff

The best lamb chenjeh I’ve ever had in Germany!

The food was great. The Atmosphere was very nice and authentic!!

The food is very good. Its recent personnel behave more professionally and respectfully than before. Try to reserve the thesis in advance

The restaurant looks good, but you can't have a big party here. The waitress made us wait 15 minutes until the card was brought. Then again after 10 minutes, and only after the request, the drinks were brought. The store was half full at the time of our visit. The food consists of a lot of rice and little meat, but it is very tasty. We recommend the meat platter for two: it fills you up and is super tasty. The best lamb I've ever eaten. There is not enough choice for vegetarians here.

Delicious food.. But Please update your phone number.

Very bad choice when it comes to a restaurant. Recommended as a snack. Waiters are extremely overwhelmed and there is no trace of politeness. Persian hospitality is far from it. We waited over 30 minutes for a waiter who was completely useless!

We were recommended this beautiful and cozy restaurant by a connoisseur because we have already tried a few Persian restaurants in Berlin and love the cuisine. We stopped by quite spontaneously and only with a bit of luck did we get a spot. The restaurant was almost full to the last table: and rightly so! Because the food was fantastic! We live vegan and got great food that we really enjoyed. There are some starters that you can easily eat as a vegan (with slight adjustments) and also two main courses that are regularly vegan and even a dessert, which I was particularly happy about. Everything's great! The service was extremely friendly and took care of all of our concerns. We'll definitely be back! There is a large parking lot opposite the restaurant, which also made logistics easier for us. It was really wonderful - a Persian dream in Steglitz. THANKS!

I loved the food. I ate eggplant with lamb cubes and salad shirazi. I am amazed by the decoration and the ambiance. It was perfect. The only thing they need to do is play traditional persian music.

Very tasty, the Jujeh Kebab is very juicy and tender, the other dishes are also extremely tasty, as an Iranian I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone. Service is also great. 5/5

It was my first time in Berlin & we were lucky dinning in this beautiful traditional Persian restaurant. The food, service & Atmosphere was perfect & outstanding. The price as per the food quality is unbelievable. In Hamburg is more expensive and quality food is lower! The bread is fresh made & the Kababs & rice was excellent taste & quality. The management was friendly and accept us to dine, even without reservation. All the aspects of Persian Resturant serving was available. For example, it is very rare a Persian restaurant to provide walnut with the white cheese & fresh vegetable. Always it is only the white cheese & vegetable. Thank you for making our evening pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. Most of the customers in the restaurant were Germans 😊 I just wish there would be same Resturant in Hamburg.

In my experience, this is a good place.

The first disappointing point was lack of soap in the toilet! The meat was dry and the atmosphier was loud and hectic.

The food quality was great and staff were friendly and helpful.

Worst service, 20 minutes have passed since his arrival. Totally unfriendly reception. Never again

Delicious food, nice people, highly recommended to experience real Iranian restaurant

Food and service were top notch. We'd love to come back.

Top restaurant! Food perfect! The ambience was very nice and traditional, we really felt like we were in Iran's traditional restaurants! Prices also very good! Can only recommend it!

The food was too good and the service excellent.

We came from the UK and decided to visit Fanous Restaurant based on the excellent reviews we found on Google—and it was absolutely worth it! This is truly one of the best Iranian restaurants we’ve ever tried. We ordered Baghali Polo ba Mahicheh and Soltani, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic and perfectly balanced. As a delightful bonus, they make their own baklava in-house, which was simply amazing—one of the best we’ve ever had. The experience was made even better by the warm and friendly hospitality. The Iranian lady who served us was incredibly polite, kind, and welcoming, adding a personal touch to our meal. Everything about this restaurant, from the food to the service, was outstanding. If you’re looking for authentic Iranian cuisine in Berlin, we highly recommend Fanous Restaurant!

My favorite restaurant for Persian cuisine in Berlin, simply the best! The food is delicious and the people are always friendly and warmly greet guests. Everything is freshly prepared, and I particularly like ordering the starters with bread. My favorite is Kubideh with rice – highly recommended! Anyone who eats here is guaranteed to fall in love.

The food is really excellent, but unfortunately the starters are very small and extremely expensive. For three people (including a main course for two and starters) we paid €93!

The best Iranian restaurant in Berlin. Good service, delicious food. It's just hard to make a reservation.

Hello! I love eating at fanous! The service and the food are very good! And the ambience is also very good! It just tastes very good

The food was delicious and the staff were very, very friendly!! If I could give 10 stars I would give 10!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

As always, excellent food, friendly service, good wine (grüner veltliner) always worth a visit.

Meals taste perfect. Friendly staff and reasonable prices.

Our food was great Service very professional and nice

The food was delicious and the staff and management of the restaurant were extremely friendly. I definitely recommend the restaurant, everyone has to experience it once.

First experience and totally satisfied. The meat was well done and also the chicken(Judje) was juicy. The atmosphere was also unique and the restaurant was clean. Just felt a bit unorganized as we had to wait without Nobody coming to us or giving a seat to us. They serve an appetizer(Bread, cheese, …) for the table and the staff were nice. Good place to try and also bring your guests. Will definitely visit again.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant. We had reserved a table for 10 people, but ended up being one more. When we sat down, the space was so narrow that we were squashed. When we asked for a larger table, the boss was rude and said she didn't know that we were "all fat". This statement was not only discriminatory but also disrespectful. We also sat separately and not all together, even though the back of the restaurant was empty. The waitress was unfriendly and didn't write down our orders, but repeated them loudly. The food was disappointing: the rice was dry and tasteless, the meat was OK, but after eating many of us had stomach problems and nausea. Overall a very bad experience.

If you’re into genuine Persian cuisine, this is a must go restaurant. Highly recommended!

Simply a great restaurant with delicious food and extremely friendly staff

We ordered loobia polo, baghali polo mahiche and kubide. Loobia polo was far from my expectations it was pulled meat and it smelled completely like burnt rice or meat. When I told them about it they said this is how we serve it, period. Not in a kind way and even rude.

Highly recommend best food iv tasted in berlin

excellent Persian food good service. Criticism: Very dark inside and the menu is difficult to read. Nice places outside to recommend.

It is still one of the best Iranian restaurants in Berlin, but it was very strange to me that the pounded kebab was heated and not fresh. The kebab should go directly from the grill to the customer's table. The amount of rice was very small and even though I am not a big eater, I was not satisfied. The decor and atmosphere are very beautiful with Iranian spirit, but the idea of ​​the window from the kitchen to the living room reminded me of the grills in Tehran bazaar, which is a negative point. In any case, overall, it deserves 4 stars for the price and space.

Great service, very compassionate woman

It was a very nice experience for me and reminded me of my homeland.

This restaurant is great. The food is delicious, the service is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is great too. The only small downside: I found it a bit cold, but I'm also a chilblain and will dress much warmer next time.

It was my first time eating there and I absolutely loved it. The food was prepared very quickly and it was simply delicious. At the end there was a delicious tea on the house. Thank you for everything.

Average food and average service.

The food is delicious as always, especially the kebab is simply a delight! The atmosphere in the restaurant is also very pleasant and inviting. I always enjoy coming here!☺️☺️☺️

Everything in this restaurant is wonderful. The service, especially the warmth with which you are greeted and served, is excellent. It's very difficult not to feel comfortable here. The food is very tasty and well prepared. We just really enjoy being here, although unfortunately too rarely. It's always worth reserving a table as it's often quite full - and rightly so!!

Very good restaurant, very good food and explanatory service... We'll be back and not just once, we promise. Unfortunately it took 4 years, but it was so delicious again and we're more likely to come back this time

An authentic and family-run restaurant with classic Persian cuisine, the portions are large and absolutely filling and the desserts are also very tasty. Be sure to reserve in advance, as it is usually difficult to get a spot. Absolutely recommended restaurant!

One of the best restaurants in Berlin; the food is served in hot dishes, which I find very appealing, and the food stays warm. The portions are just right, and the quality is excellent.

2024 Nov.(5 stars): It's the only place I go for Iranian food in Berlin. The best Iranian Shishlik, Lamb, and other grills you can get here. I would like to have the tea stronger. Good vibes and friendly service. Thank you! Edited version(4 stars): They installed an air conditioner, and the place is not stinky of Koobideh anymore. Thanks for your caring to my review. Grill foods are great. Service is still a little bit slow, and it has the potential to be better.

No doubt that it's one of the best Persian restaurants in Berlin. They bake Lavash bread which is really close to what we have in Iran. Taste of kebabs were really good. Spinach yogurt was delicious and staff also are really nice. The menu is also very comprehensive and you have almost all the options of famous Persian dishes. Keep in mind to reserve in advance as the tables are usually reserved.

Very unfriendly, I called on Thursday to reserve a table for Saturday, the waiter said we weren't allowed to call at such short notice. This restaurant has you covered and well catered for

The food is great and the staff is also very nice😊

The hostess is simply a dream. Super warm and always nice. Not fake but sincerely meant. The atmosphere is authentic and cozy. You'll enjoy sitting here. The food is some of the best in town! Anyone who wants a real Persian who cooks freshly and simply tastes good. He's going to Fanous. Our first address in Berlin for Persian food. Keep it up. We wish you only the best. PS: thank you very much for the warmth you feel. PPS: The store is always full, try to make a reservation if no one answers the phone, no problem... just drive by, the hostess somehow always finds a table for you.

The food was really good and tastes original

Today, October 20, 2024, I went to this restaurant again and saw very strange behavior First, the manager sent me like an interrogator and asked me to delete my comment Then, when I refused, a man came from the kitchen again during the counting and wanted to show me why their plates are hot, and when I said that I don't have time, he insulted me and said that it is your fault that we are not progressing ♂️🤦 ♂️ The managers of this restaurant, who are reading this comment, know that maybe the food is not a very important concern, but your behavior today was really ugly and disgusting, you have no right to summon the customer! You have no right to tell the customer to delete his comment! You have no right to yell at the customer! These are the axioms of human relations and if you don't follow these things, even if you serve the best food, you will still get a low score. According to you, the main reason for your lack of progress is that you are not ready to accept criticism, even if many people have told you so. I really want Iranians to take a bigger share of the Berlin market, but with this behavior you are losing even the Iranians. If I were you, I would give the customer the space to criticize and I would listen to improve, not attack to delete an unimportant comment (which, of course, won't happen, but your service score will also decrease). ---- The food was not of the quality that I expected, the dish was so hot that I felt that they heated the food, I am almost sure that they heated the rice.

The food wasn't that good but my complaint is that the older lady in charge was very unfriendly and disrespectful to us. When we arrived, she brought food to the table right next to us but ignored us. After 10 minutes of nobody coming to us, we asked about the menu ourselves. Then, without greeting us, she told us that this table was already reserved. Then we waited for another table to become available. After standing for about 20 minutes when we wanted to sit at the other table, she said that this table was already reserved and you have to sit outside. In over an hour that we were there, the two tables inside were still free but they wouldn't let us in. After over an hour of getting our food, the food quickly got cold due to the cold weather and was no longer edible. We won't go there anymore.

Low quality of meet It was not as delicious as iranians kebab...before the quality of foods was better.

Authentic furnishings, cozy. The service was excellent and always attentive but not intrusive. The food was very tasty and fresh. We'd love to come back.

It was the first time I had been there with my family and really enjoyed it.

The food was tasty, the service was friendly and the prices were almost too cheap. I was even able to pay by card (no need to mention that, but unfortunately we know how it is...). Ambiance is also very nice, maybe a little too dark, but okay. I was satisfied.

In overall food was good however I suggest you to order kebab or Joje which is very delicious

Great atmosphere, lovingly oriental furnishings, friendly advice, and the food is ok, but unfortunately cannot meet the expectations that the ambience creates

Delicious persian food at really good prices. The service was also good and fast.

Great Kabab Koubideh with Great staff.

Very friendly, nice restaurant, food is tasty

Fantastic restaurant, great food, friendly service. Beautiful and genuine Persian decor.

I'm really sorry for you, I heard that your behavior is awful, but not to the extent that you are fighting on the phone. My German receptionist called to make a reservation and said they treated me very badly. Shame on you 🛑🛑

I ordered djuje kabab. Djudje could have been better but overall it was okay

I was extremely positively surprised. This Persian restaurant is more than worth a visit. We took a starter platter for two with 7 small bowls and a liter of Dugh (Persian milk drink with herbs). Yummy. Afterwards we had a chicken salad, put together with love and torn with a separate dressing. Everything at moderate prices. The service and kitchen staff really had their hands full on Monday, but always remained friendly and attentive to the guests. Admirable. In the interests of both parties, I urgently ask you to reserve a table in advance.

I recently visited Restaurant FANUS and unfortunately I was very disappointed with my experience. First of all, the service was anything but friendly. The waitress seemed stressed and uninterested, which made the entire stay unpleasant. We had to wait a long time for our order even though the restaurant wasn't full. The food itself didn't meet my expectations either. My food was cold and tasted rather bland. I was hoping for more from the specific dish as it sounded promising on the menu. The portion was also disappointingly small for the price. The cleanliness in the restaurant also left a lot to be desired. Our table was not cleared properly and the toilets were in an unsanitary condition. Overall, my visit to FANUS was a disappointment and I probably won't return in the future. I hope the restaurant rethinks its service and quality standards to provide future guests with a better experience NOT RECOMMENDED AT ALL

Simply delicious and friendly staff. You can't complain about that. Thanks

Always tasty and very good quality.

I ate there with my family and the food and service were great. The service was very friendly and the food hardly took longer than 25-30 minutes to arrive at our table. I can recommend 5/5 to anyone who wants to read Persian.

The restaurant is very nice, the service was very friendly, the food didn't appeal to my taste buds one hundred percent, but that's ultimately a personal feeling.

Very tasty and really nice service

Excellent. Simply complete enjoyment.

We had been planning to visit Fanous for a long time, but unfortunately we were only able to get a table after several attempts to order. I'm not a connoisseur of Persian cuisine, but anyone looking for something outside the monotony is well served. The service is very attentive and friendly and questions are happy to be answered. The fact that a lot of people from the Persian community obviously eat here underlines my overall picture. We will come back in any case.

AMAZING FOOD, OUTSTANDING SERVICE! Will definitely come back!
